Team, speaking as a school counselor/social worker, I can’t really condone stress-eating. In fact, I don’t condon it at all. If you’re being triggered and you’re feeling negative feelings, first, yay! You’re feeling feelings! That’s great! We should celebrate our feelings. That said, diving for a pint of Ben and Jerry’s to numb the pain isn’t a positive coping skill. Can we all agree on that?
BUT, speaking as your friendly, neighborhood kosher food blogger, I can TOTALLY celebrate stress-eating! Find out your bestie is moving away? Why that calls for a big pot o’ mac n’ cheese! Discovered your partner is cheating on you!? Let’s dive in to some cheese fries! Terrified that the country will soon be run by an ego-maniacal, hate-speech talkin’, violence-inducing thief!? Why not make some pie and FILL IT with mac n’ cheese!?!?
And so my friends, I bring to you today a recipe round-up filled with . . . you guessed it . . .cheese! Cheese and cinnamon rolls and french fries and ice cream and chicken wings and all sorts of goodies to enjoy while waiting to find out the results of this election. And before you wrag on me for posting only unhealthy foods, can I please direct your attention to the gluten-free donuts! Huzzah! Happy (almost) election day!
